He's the first player since Tiger Woods to win five PGA Tour events in consecutive seasons, but can Scottie Scheffler go one better? Nobody has won back-to-back FedEx Cup titles, and although the starting strokes format has been scrapped — meaning everyone starts at level-par — there's a sense that it hasn't hurt Scheffler's chances one jot.

In previous seasons, as the FedEx Cup Playoffs points leader Scheffler would have started at 10-under, two clear of Rory McIlroy, followed by J.J. Spaun (7-under), Justin Rose (6-under), Tommy Fleetwood (5-under), Ben Griffin (4-under), Russell Henley (3-under), Sepp Straka (2-under), Bob MacIntyre (1-under), and with everyone else on par.
However, that's no longer the case, and the Tour Championship will instead play like a regular 72-holer. And here's the really crucial detail: whoever wins at East Lake will lift the FedEx Cup title, irrespective of the points standings.
The points that the players have spent the season accumulating aren't completely meaningless. They've earned them serious money over the course of the campaign. However, there'll be a few near the top of the standings who'd happily cash a check or two in for a multi-stroke lead over the pack.
Below is a complete guide on where to watch 2025 Tour Championship live streams, together with U.S. broadcast schedules, international TV channels and Round 1 tee times.

1. Download and install a VPN — as we say, our top choice is NordVPN.
2. Connect to the appropriate server location — open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select the appropriate location.
